Hageman beat out former Big Brother contestant Angel McKenzie and six other players in the Red or Black? premiere, which sees participants attempt to gamble their way to big money on a series of 50/50 decisions.

Hageman revealed prior to his win that he had been persuaded to enter the show by his ex-girlfriend, and had completely forgotten about his application until he was invited on.

Red or Black? will air for six more nights on ITV1, returning tomorrow at 6.45pm.
